GAME PROFILE
Island survival with player-built bases, resource gathering, raiding and electrical systems; Windows and Apple-silicon Mac requirements are listed separately.
THE OVERVIEW
Rust turns survival on an inhabited island into a contest over resources, shelter and trust. Players gather materials, research a technology tree and build bases that can protect supplies or become targets for raids. Farming, electrical systems and several forms of transport give groups ways to organize a settlement beyond combat. Cooperation and trading are possible, while other survivors and environmental hazards can disrupt those plans. The Windows minimum lists 12 GB RAM and 45 GB storage, with an SSD strongly recommended; the recommended profile requires an SSD. Separate macOS profiles list Apple M1 hardware, and the Steam page discloses kernel-level Easy Anti-Cheat with manual removal after uninstall.
